I’m almost sorry to ask this, but does anyone have experience with Firefox on Linux taking a long time to open? I’m running Pop!_OS on a fairly modern machine. All other programs open pretty quickly, but Firefox seems to drag its feet on startup. Once it’s open it’s great, no problems with speed.

I have tried disabling extensions (ublock origin, sponsorblock, decentraleyes, i still don’t care about cookies) and I have tried setting my default profile as one without any custom user.js (I have a profile with Arkenfox and one with Betterfox’s user.js). Nothing I have done so far has seemed to make any difference, but Help->Troubleshoot Mode allows Firefox to open quickly, so there must be something that I can disable that is causing the issue… Any ideas? Thanks.

    Lmao isn’t Mint based on Ubuntu also? If you’re going to suggest switching distros entirely for slow loading on a single app might as well choose one that’s not derivative
